The wall calenders are great for back grounds for photo shoots.   Their found every where and expired ones are usually on sale.  Here is one that I added a couple of GI-JOE figures to a covered bridge calender.

Sometimes you find wall plaques or photos to use.   These were bought at Target and Walmart.  The Fire stations was a set of two.  I flipped the door image to give me three images.  The Europe scenes were a set of five.  The last one has a peeping Tom Santa Christmas ornament and two bathing beauties.  I used a cloud poster in back.

Those all look great and that's an excellent suggestion about using calendars or photo wall plaques as backdrops for model automobile images. They sure are really good with your cars.

I am trying to figure out how to effectively use Sports Illustrated girl swimsuit models as backdrops for scale automobiles. I am determined to get it right, so I will continue to purchase their bikini gal calendars until I get it correct ! Smile

Forget the "scale automobiles" Mike and please choose some great looking motorcycles 👍

@geoff-jowett Thanks.  Hot roders in the early days on the salt flats, late 1940's, early '50's.   

That pic was taken about 20 years ago. I've always been upset with myself that I didn't lay down some white sand, salt or even flour to better hide my "obvious"  wooden table top.

20 years later, I suppose I could re-stage everything (I still have all that "stuff" ) but I'm too lazy for all that.  🙄 😯 🙄
